Kode9 & The Spaceape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe theres a miracle waitin' to happen
in de places and spaces with the mystical patterns
where dark is light and de light is bright
it's a struggle to maintain my appetite
in a time thats filled with gluttonous failure
I'm at pains to express this ya devious behaviour
Spend money, time or a very last dime on de tings you would only ever leave behind
It's a worrying time to lift you head up from the compass,
with no obvious answers to the questions offered
Blinded by the fictions of an audio addiction,
takes the senses to a place of imperceptable conditions
Like who dare ask the sum of their parts?
Who should tell of this becoming hell?
To think is the link between life and death,
enter this body of sound and escape the mesh

As a child i was always happy-go-lucky,
as a man i believe i am just plain lucky
alive inside of this ya dangerous system,
locked in and I'm twisted out of all recognition.
See this is systematic of the tings I have seen
I am lost in Paranoia's most beautiful dream
An escape is made through a thousand doors
with a sub bass emerging through the open floor

In a state of near paralysis restriction forms analysis
guided by subliminals thats from another galaxy
mobilised and lifted by this powers I've been gifted
givin' answers to questions that never existed
Like; who dare ask is the sum their parts?
Who should tell of this becoming hell?




To think is the link between life and death,
and to this body of sound and escape the mesh

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe theres a miracle waitin' to happen
There's a chance for something amazing to occur


in de places and spaces with the mystical patterns
In locations with magical designs


where dark is light and de light is bright
In an environment where the expected is reversed


it's a struggle to maintain my appetite
It's hard to keep my interest and motivation


in a time thats filled with gluttonous failure
In a moment where excessive consumption leads to failure


I'm at pains to express this ya devious behaviour
I'm finding it difficult to communicate my mischievous actions


Spend money, time or a very last dime on de tings you would only ever leave behind
Invest in things that will ultimately be abandoned and forgotten


It's a worrying time to lift you head up from the compass,
It's an uncertain time to break away from habitual behavior


with no obvious answers to the questions offered
Without clear solutions to the problems presented


Blinded by the fictions of an audio addiction,
Overwhelmed by the illusions of a sonic obsession


takes the senses to a place of imperceptable conditions
Transports the mind to an indescribable realm


Like who dare ask the sum of their parts?
Who has the audacity to question their own existence?


Who should tell of this becoming hell?
Who can inform us that we're descending into chaos?


To think is the link between life and death,
The act of contemplating is the connection between living and dying


enter this body of sound and escape the mesh
Immerse yourself in the music and break free from the constraints


As a child i was always happy-go-lucky,
In his youth, he was always carefree


as a man i believe i am just plain lucky
However, as an adult he considers himself fortunate


alive inside of this ya dangerous system,
Surviving in this perilous world


locked in and I'm twisted out of all recognition.
Trapped and unrecognizable from his former self


See this is systematic of the tings I have seen
This is the result of the things he has witnessed


I am lost in Paranoia's most beautiful dream
He's trapped in a lovely, yet delusional world of fear


An escape is made through a thousand doors
He seeks to flee from his struggles in many ways


with a sub bass emerging through the open floor
A low frequency sound resonates from below


In a state of near paralysis restriction forms analysis
He's almost unable to move, and thus, overthinking every situation


guided by subliminals thats from another galaxy
Influenced by subconscious messages from an extraterrestrial source


mobilised and lifted by this powers I've been gifted
Empowered and elevated by his natural abilities


givin' answers to questions that never existed
Providing solutions to nonexistent problems


Like; who dare ask is the sum their parts?
Who has the courage to define their own identity?


and to this body of sound and escape the mesh
And through the music, he finds liberation

PORTAL LYRICS

Maybe there's a miracle waiting to happen
In the places and spaces with the mystical patterns
Where dark is light and the light is bright
It's a struggle to maintain my appetite

In a time that's filled with gluttonous failure
I'm at pains to express this ya devious behaviour
Spend money, time, unnu very last dime
'Pon the things you will only ever leave behind
It's a worrying time to lift you head out from the covers
With no obvious answers to the questions smothered
Blinded by the fictions of an audio addiction
Takes the senses to a place of imperceptible conditions

Who the raas is the sum of their parts
Who should tell of this becoming hell
To think is the link between life an death
Enter this body of sound an escape the mesh

As a child I was always happy-go-lucky
As a man I believe I'm just plain lucky
Alive inside of this ya dangerous system
Locked in and twisted out of all recognition

This is systematic of the things I've seen
I am lost in paranoia's most beautiful dream
An escape is made through a thousand doors
With a sub-bass emerging through the open floor


In a state of near paralysis restriction forms analysis
Guided by subliminals that's from another galaxy
Mobilised and lifted by this powers I've been gifted
Given answers to questions that never even existed

Who the raas is the sum of their parts
Who should tell of this becoming hell
To think is the link between life an death
Enter this body of sound an escape the mesh
